ALMA Science Archive School
Italian ARC node headquarters,
Area della Ricerca Campus, Bologna
5-7 October 2022
The school will present an overview of the ALMA Science Archive, of the most advanced tools to exploit the archive content for science, and a discussion of possible tricks to address mining issues.
The event is targeted to astronomers with an interest in ALMA archival research and a basic understanding of interferometry.
For this reason lectures and tutorials will be combined with discussion and support sessions to address participants’ requests, offered by members of the European ARC network.
